Which Floor Material for Locus Gear Hapi Inner

[Brad P]

I’m looking at buying a Locus Gear Hapi (Grande) with a matching grande inner.  The grande isn’t on the web site, but is a little bigger.  I’m tall and am tired of brushing against walls.

The floor of the inner comes in 3 different materials.  Here are the specs for the non-grande.  I’m trying to decide between the 15D Ripstop and 30D Sil.  Would ripstop be less slippery?  That would be a big selling point for me, plus it’s lighter.

15D Ripstop HyBrid Floor Black w/seam-taped : 400g（incl.stuff Sack）¥28,800.

<b>30D Sil Nylon Floor： 470g</b>（incl.stuff Sack）<b>¥26,800.</b>
Bathtub Floor Color choice in Sil Nylon: Aspen Gold , Alpine Green, Bronze Mist

I got this same setup earlier this year (grande as well) and went with the 15D. I can’t tell you how it compares to the other floor options but I’ve been pleased. I haven’t had any issues with my pad sliding on the floor but I’ve also found mostly level campsites.

Thank you, Nick.  I had a tent with a sil floor briefly, and even after putting some sealant stripes on the floor, my pad would slide around.

I think I’m going to pull the trigger on a grande sil Hapi with the 15D ripstop floor.  I usually have a groundsheet, anyway, that would help protect the floor.
